Watch out for allergies or reactions:

Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

MEDROGEST TABLET is used to treat Amenorrhea, irregular periods, uterine bleeding, endometrial hyperplasia, and endometriosis. The detailed uses of MEDROGEST TABLET are as follows:

  • Menstrual Cycle Regulation: MEDROGEST TABLET helps to regulate irregular menstrual cycles, treating conditions like amenorrhea by stabilising hormonal imbalances and promoting a regular menstrual cycle.
  • Hormonal Replacement Therapy: MEDROGEST TABLET may be used for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to alleviate symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes and mood changes, by regulating estrogen levels.
  • Endometriosis Treatment: MEDROGEST TABLET is also used to treat endometriosis symptoms, such as painful periods and irregular cycles, by regulating hormones and reducing discomfort.
  • Treatment of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: By controlling hormone levels and possibly lowering excessive bleeding during menstruation, MEDROGEST TABLET can help manage abnormal uterine bleeding.

Medicinal Benefits

MEDROGEST TABLET belongs to a group of medicines called progestogens used to treat heavy, painful, irregular or missed periods, absence of periods, and uterine bleeding. It is also used to treat mild to moderate endometriosis and to decrease the risk of endometrial hyperplasia (a condition that may lead to uterine cancer) while taking estrogens. MEDROGEST TABLET may also be used to prevent pregnancy. MEDROGEST TABLET contains medroxyprogesterone acetate that works by replacing or supplementing the naturally produced female sex hormone called progesterone. MEDROGEST TABLET treats endometriosis by thinning the uterine lining, thereby preventing the spread of tissues from the uterus to other body parts. It helps prevent pregnancy by stopping the release of eggs from the ovaries (ovulation).
